Davis punctuates slam with 3-point pose

OAKLAND -- Moments after hitting the first grand slam of his career to cap a three-homer night, A's slugger Khris Davis stopped a few feet shy of home plate, grabbed his batting helmet and pulled up for a little jump shot.

"I've had that in the back of my head since last year, and I finally got the chance to do it," Davis said following Oakland's wild 8-5 win over the Rangers on Tuesday. "I wasn't going to miss it. It was a swish, by the way."

On a night when the two teams combined for seven home runs, Davis' walk-off blast in the ninth off Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson was obviously the biggest.
